How does she like spending 72 hours with a bunch of car guys, looking at, talking about, and showing off cars? There is booze involved, so usually that makes the situation a little easier. If you/she thinks it's going to be anything but all cars all the time, you're joking yourself. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif)

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif) The ex-girlfriend was actually cool with that, I'll give her atleast that much. Just throwing it out there as a consideration for a young 21 y/o like myself.... |

We've got this shindig on the calendar! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) I may have missed it but when can we expect the specifics on hotels etc.? It's been a few years since we've been to Tahoe but the last time was spectacular! I know the competition will be tough but I've been training hard for the "That Guy" Award. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif) Thanks to all for organizing this event. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif) |

I am in the process of pitting hotel's against each other to try and get the best rate, and give us options.
So far, Harvey's is in the lead:) More info to follow very soon! |

Some places I've been lately have made parking a profit center. |

Thanks Jim but we are contacting the hotels directly and the good news is, we have received numbers lower than that.
Parking is free in Tahoe, we are also working on getting a section of lot blocked off just for us. |

QUOTE(ericread @ Dec 10 2009, 09:38 AM) QUOTE(Dr Evil @ Dec 9 2009, 11:50 PM) Lake Tahoe is ~4,850 ft. in altitude. In May it will probably be pretty cold, with a good possibility of snow keeping the campgrounds closed. The average temperature for Tahoe in May is a high of 61 and a low of 32. If it ends up being a productive snow winter, you may need to count on hotel rooms, rather than camping. Eric Lake elevation is 6225. I lived at Northshore for two years I have seen it snow every month of the year. Raw data for May. Max Temperature high 78 °F av. 59 °F low 32 °F Mean Temperature high 60 °F av. 45 °F low 25 °F Min Temperature high 42 °F av 30 °F low 16 °F There WILL still be snow at lake level for those of you who are thinking about camping. Doesnt bother Miss Mari or myself, just need more antifreeze! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drunk.gif) JT |

I'm going to have to see how my schedule works out... but I'll be in school at that time. Might still work out... if I can work a schedule like I have this term, I have no classes Thu-Sun.

I am going to see if I can fly into Portland and drag some of these guys down. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Lets see if I can make some $$ to cover the cost (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)
Anyone need a rebuild? Bolts? Engine stand adapters? etc? The Tranz rebuild video should be done by then (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

After many phone calls and emails, we have our host hotel for the event! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drunk.gif)
Harvey's Lake Tahoe will be ground zero. Bad news: After talking with the hotel meeting coordinator, in order to get their group discount, we would have to agree to a minimum # of rooms and be on the hook if we did not fill them. After the fiasco with Mark a couple years ago, we will not agree to that. The great news: Expedia is having a sale for Harvey's right now...for the same price we would have received! I don't know how long this sale will last, however if you book 2 nights or more, the price comes out to be the same we would have gotten with the group rate. Simply search on Expedia for South Lake Tahoe for the dates (May 13th-16th) and you'll see the discount for Harveys. The rates right now are $59/Thursday, $77/Friday and $97/Saturday. This averages out to $77/night if staying Thurs-Sunday... I would suggest booking sooner than later since this is a sale. Harvey's will have a section of their parking structure blocked off for 914's and they have security 24/7. Harvey's is the highest ranked hotel in Tahoe according to tripadvisor.com. They have a great casino and I'm sure they will be stocked up with alcohol, not that any of you fine upstanding 914 World members drink of course (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) If you have any questions, feel free to post them here and one of the planners will respond. Only 14 weeks until 914's by the Lake! EDIT: I just found an Expedia coupon code that will save $10/night. Just enter 10WINTER when you are checking out...just worked for me, $67/night average!! |

Alright, I just told the wife that I was going and she did not object. Looks like I am going to use my credit card in the mean time. So, I am saying that I am going. God help me.
